Yes. It floats on the weak mobile layer of the mantle.

This solid layer is found between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
asthenosphere
How is the lithosphere different then the adthosphere?
The lithosphere is defined as the crust plus the brittle, uppermost mantle to which it is attached. The part of the upper mantle called the asthenosphere is ductile, and is the portion of the mantle on which the lithosphere 'floats'. Essentially, it is a difference in the degree of ductility. The lithosphere is brittle; the mantle is ductile.
What layer of the mantle contains tectonic plates?
The Lithosphere contains the tectonic plates. :)
What are the different layer of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere can be defined as the crust and the uppermost mantle, but above and separate from the rest of the upper mantle (asthenosphere). The outer layer of the crust, including the land surfaces, can be called the pedosphere - the boundary between rock and atmosphere or rock and ocean, where soil and sediment is formed.
What defines the three main parts of the solid earth?
IDK find it out yourself you cheater I'm kidding it is the crust,inner core,and the lithosphere
This solid layer is found between the inner core and the lithosphere?
Although the bottom of the lithosphere is also part of the mantle, the answer is the mantle.
What solid layer between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
I dont think there is a solid layer between the Lowwer Mantle and the Lithosphere. The only layer which lies in this region is the Asthenosphere, which is a Weak Zone and in Molten State.

What are the layers of the earth according to physical properties?
PROPERTIES1. Lithosphere = the part of earth that we stand, sit, etc. on (also known as the Crust, About 5-25 miles).2. Mantle= the solid part of Earth until the outer core, the Earth's mantle is a solid crust or shell covering the liquid inner-earth similar to the shell of an egg.3. Outer Core= the liquid that the Mantle somewhat floats on top of4. Inner Core= the Inner Core is a solid ball of hot rock that is about 1600 miles in diameter.Sub-core= the small bluish ball of insanely hot magmaAnother OpinionThe lithosphere is actually beneath the crust; we don't stand on it, and the mantle is supposedly liquid magma; the mantle isn't solid.
Is the lithosphere a solid or a liquid?
according to scientists, the lithosphere is solid
What is the earth's solid rigid outer layer that is composed of crust and mantle?
The Lithosphere comprises both Upper Mantle and Crust.
What layer of the mantle contains tectonic plates?
The Lithosphere contains the tectonic plates. :)

Which is denser the inner core or the outer core?
The mantle is more dense than the asthenosphere, lithosphere, and the crust. The inner core and the outer core are more dense, however. The mantle is also a solid. I am learning this in my science class right now! :)
Solid layer just below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
Where are the atmosphere crust core hydrosphere lithosphere and mantle located?
crust mantle liquid core solid core
